EducationB.A. University of California, San Diego, 1986, Chemistry Ph.D. MIT/WHOI Joint Program, 1991, Chemical OceanographyResearch Interests• Marine biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics • Ocean acidification • Global carbon cycle • Climate change • Data analysis and numerical modelingResearch StatementMy science interests span oceanography, climate and biogeochemistry. Much of my research involves how the global carbon cycle and ocean ecology respond to natural and human-driven climate change, which may act to either damp or accelerate climate trends. A current focus is on ocean acidification due to the invasion into the ocean of carbon dioxide and other chemicals from fossil fuel burning.
